It’s a big day for Wolves, with fans hoping to see a few more additions before the transfer window closes.
Wolves have had a turbulent summer, having lost many players.
At the moment, the squad is considerably weaker than the one that ended the 2024/25 season, and that fact will likely remain no matter what happens today.
Tolo Arokodare is set to sign for Wolves today, with the striker having flown in yesterday from Belgium.
There has also been talk of Josh Brownhill coming in, after he recently left Burnley as a free agent.
Brownhill is not in a rush though, and he could be snapped up after the deadline if he was still available.
But someone else Wolves may look to move for today is Hayden Hackney – and Middlesbrough’s stance has now been shared.
Middlesbrough determined to keep Wolves target Hayden Hackney on deadline day
Without doubt, Wolves need to get another central midfielder in.
Wolves sanctioned loan exits for Tommy Doyle and Boubacar Traore earlier this summer, meaning there are currently only four options to play in the middle – Joao Gomes, Andre, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde and Marshall Munetsi.
But Bellegarde and Munetsi also both get minutes in the number 10 roles.
Wolves were linked with Hackney at the back end of last week, but Middlesbrough had a not for sale stance.
The pressure is now cranked up on the final day of the transfer window, and Alex Crook has shared the latest in terms of Boro’s stance on the player.
He said on X late last night going into the final day: “Understand #Boro are determined to resist any #DeadlineDay interest in Hayden Hackney. Has been on #Wolves radar.”
What Rob Edwards said about Hayden Hackney
Boro seem like they’ll dig their heels in, but Wolves are extremely keen to land a midfielder before the deadline so we’ll see if there’s a breakthrough.
Hackney is a real talent and would make an exciting signing for Wolves, and it will be fascinating to see if the club can prise him away from the Riverside.
Over the weekend, Rob Edwards said of Hackney’s future (via BBC Sport): “The ball is in H’s court. That’s where we stand.
“It’s a win-win and people can be calm about the whole situation.
“If H is here, then he’s a brilliant player, which is great. If he’s not, then there will be funds available.”
